Shares of Microsoft rose in extended trading. Qualcomm, the largest maker of smartphone processors, gave a weak profit forecast for the current quarter, signaling that component shortages and rising costs are taking a toll on its main market.

-Craig Trudell, Bloomberg Managing Editor of Global Business Coverage, recaps Ford earnings. Ford Motor raised its profit outlook for the second time this year as consumers continue to buy the automaker’s high-margin sport-utility vehicles. The company's quarterly earnings were better than expected, and it now expects to earn as much as $11 billion before interest and taxes this year, up from its prior forecast.

-Diksha Gera, Bloomberg Intelligence Global Fintech and Payments Analyst, recaps Visa earnings. Visa reported a fiscal third-quarter profit that beat Wall Street estimates, with adjusted net income rising 8% from a year earlier to $6.3 billion. The company will eliminate roughly 2,600 jobs, affecting about 7% of the workforce, as part of an effort to operate more efficiently and focus on its biggest opportunities for growth.

-Andrea Felsted, Bloomberg Opinion Columnist, discusses earnings from Hermes and Kering. Shares of Hermès International and Kering diverged by a record margin on Wednesday, marking a dramatic reversal in fortunes for the two luxury goods makers. Hermès shares slumped by as much as 11% to the lowest level since January 2023, after the company's Chief Financial Officer said product price hikes for 2027 would be smaller than this year.

-Poonam Goyal, Senior U.S. E-Commerce and Retail Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses why Nike and Adidas World Cup sales can last beyond the event. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: Nike and Adidas can turn World Cup kit dominance into post-tournament soccer gains, with Adidas' €1.5 billion in event sales, topping its initial €1 billion expectation, and the Spain-Argentina final all-Adidas matchup reinforcing demand.

-George Ferguson, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Aerospace, Defense, & Airlines Analyst, discusses earnings from Boeing and JetBlue. Boeing Co. generated better-than-expected cash flow in the second quarter on continued strong demand for its aircraft. JetBlue Airways Corp. shares rose 5% after it reaffirmed its full-year outlook and said it will reach positive cash flow next year, as strong demand helped offset high fuel prices tied to the Iran war.

--Thomas Black, Bloomberg Opinion Columnist, discusses UPS earnings. United Parcel Service Inc. shares fell after its outlook for volume and profit margins underwhelmed investors, with average US daily package volume expected to decline in the mid-single digits in the third quarter.

-Ken Shea, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Consumer Products Analyst, discusses earnings from Coca Cola. Coca-Cola Co. raised its full-year outlook, bolstered by demand last quarter while it served as a major sponsor of the FIFA World Cup. The company now sees organic sales growth of 5%, and raised its forecast for earnings-per-share growth to as much as 8%.

-Diksha Gera, Bloomberg Intelligence Global Fintech and Payments Analyst, discusses earnings from PayPal. PayPal Holdings Inc. would “carefully consider” opportunities to create greater value for shareholders if they arise, Chief Executive Officer Enrique Lores said. The company's shares rose 3.6% to $58.08, giving the company a market value of $51 billion, after Lores' remarks on a conference call with analysts.
